The video was filmed in a shrimp farm located in Hainan (China). The video shows the preparation of the ponds before stocking of the post larvae. There is a growing interest in organic food including organic shrimp. The driving forces behind the promotion of organic shrimp are mainly food safety and farm economics especially such farms rely on natural food in feeding.
Before stocking the shrimp post larvae, the management of shrimp grow-out farm targets the development of sufficient copepods bloom using a specific type of Probiotics as well as tea seed cake and rice bran. The use of tea seed cake targets the elimination of small unwanted fish if exist without the need to apply chemical disinfectants. It is believed that rice bran whether grinded or fermented rice bran would enhance more copepod development. The probiotic is applied based on the pH of the water.
According to published protocols, the water is pumped into shrimp ponds through 300-micron mesh for filtration. The aerators shown in the video operate for 7 to 10 days before the stocking of shrimp post larvae. The high aeration during the start-up is required to enhance the copepod bloom. The density of live food is checked to ensure a sufficient density before the stocking of shrimp post larvae.
This particular farm consists of four ponds of 2.5 mu each (one mu = 1666 m2) with a depth of 80 cm. The farm receives oceanic water from South China Sea. The water pH was 8 at noon.
Usually the PL15 of whiteleg shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei are stocked at density which could range from 30-100 pcs/m2 depending on the intensity level.

Kyrgyzstan is an ancient Central Asian country with ties to the Silk Road and nomadic traditions. The traditional foods of the Kyrgyz Republic were born out of the ancient Kyrgyz way of life. The people of Kyrgyzstan were nomads that primarily raised cows, sheep, and goats, so much of the cuisine reflects this by being heavily meat based. Spices aren't used much so as to not detract from the natural flavor of the meat and the most popular meats used to cook with are mutton and beef.
Since Islam has influenced the country greatly, meat is prepared in a way that meets the standards of the Islamic faith. This includes killing the animal swiftly and draining the meat of blood. When meat is prepared this way, it is deemed "halal."
However, meat isn't the only thing on a Kyrgyz menu. Kyrgyz people are masters when it comes to making homemade breads and pastries. Lipyoshka and borsok are two popular foods in the Kyrgyz Republic. Lipyoska is a circular loaf of bread baked in a large, outdoor clay oven topped with sesame seeds and sometimes onion. No special occasion is needed to indulge in a nice, fresh lipyoshka. Borsok is thinly rolled dough cut into small squares and then fried. They end up puffy and can vary in sweetness depending on the tastes of the cook. People often serve borsok when celebrating holidays.
Meat and bread are also accompanied by a variety of organic vegetables, dairy products, and starches. Much of the produce grown inside the country is done so without the aid of chemicals, making Kyrgyz dishes very healthy. Nomadic people also make homemade cream and butter to be served during a meal. Therefore, Kyrgyz chefs and family cooks usually create their menus using organic food, halal meat, a variety of dairy products, and rice, pasta, or potatoes.
Food is Kyrgyzstan is not only tasty, but extremely affordable. People looking for a low cost vacation on the Silk Road will appreciate the prices of this Central Asian country along with the variety of flavors it offers.

In The OrganicFarmer's Business Handbook, Richard Wiswall shares advice on how to make your vegetable production more efficient, better manage your employees and finances, and turn a profit. From his twenty-seven years of experience at Cate Farm in Vermont, Wiswall knows firsthand the joys of starting and operating an organic farm—as well as the challenges of making a living from one. Farming offers fundamental satisfaction from producing food, working outdoors, being one's own boss, and working intimately with nature. But, unfortunately, many farmers avoid learning about the business end of farming; because of this, they often work harder than they need to, or quit farming altogether because of frustrating—and often avoidable—losses.

China's market for organic food is booming, but many small-scale farmers are struggling with high costs and compliance burdens. So, they’re coming up with creative ways to market and sell their products, such as inviting customers on field trips to check out the produce for themselves!

Organic food

Organic foods are foods produced by organic farming. While the standards differ worldwide, organic farming in general features cultural, biological, and mechanical practices that foster cycling of resources, promote ecological balance, and conserve biodiversity. Synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilizers are not allowed, although certain approved pesticides may be used. In general, organic foods are also not processed using irradiation, industrial solvents, or synthetic food additives.

Currently, the European Union, the United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan and many other countries require producers to obtain special certification in order to market food as organic within their borders. In the context of these regulations, organic food is food produced in a way that complies with organic standards set by national governments and international organizations. Although the produce of kitchen gardens may be organic, selling food with the organic label is regulated by governmental food safety authorities, such as the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) or European Commission.

Kyrgyzstan is an ancient Central Asian country with ties to the Silk Road and nomadic traditions. The traditional foods of the Kyrgyz Republic were born out of the ancient Kyrgyz way of life. The people of Kyrgyzstan were nomads that primarily raised cows, sheep, and goats, so much of the cuisine reflects this by being heavily meat based. Spices aren't used much so as to not detract from the natural flavor of the meat and the most popular meats used to cook with are mutton and beef.
Since Islam has influenced the country greatly, meat is prepared in a way that meets the standards of the Islamic faith. This includes killing the animal swiftly and draining the meat of blood. When meat is prepared this way, it is deemed "halal."
However, meat isn't the only thing on a Kyrgyz menu. Kyrgyz people are masters when it comes to making homemade breads and pastries. Lipyoshka and borsok are two popular foods in the Kyrgyz Republic. Lipyoska is a circular loaf of bread baked in a large, outdoor clay oven topped with sesame seeds and sometimes onion. No special occasion is needed to indulge in a nice, fresh lipyoshka. Borsok is thinly rolled dough cut into small squares and then fried. They end up puffy and can vary in sweetness depending on the tastes of the cook. People often serve borsok when celebrating holidays.
Meat and bread are also accompanied by a variety of organic vegetables, dairy products, and starches. Much of the produce grown inside the country is done so without the aid of chemicals, making Kyrgyz dishes very healthy. Nomadic people also make homemade cream and butter to be served during a meal. Therefore, Kyrgyz chefs and family cooks usually create their menus using organic food, halal meat, a variety of dairy products, and rice, pasta, or potatoes.
Food is Kyrgyzstan is not only tasty, but extremely affordable. People looking for a low cost vacation on the Silk Road will appreciate the prices of this Central Asian country along with the variety of flavors it offers.

Lipyoska is a circular loaf of bread baked in a large, outdoor clay oven topped with sesame seeds and sometimes onion. No special occasion is needed to indulge in a nice, fresh lipyoshka. Borsok is thinly rolled dough cut into small squares and then fried. They end up puffy and can vary in sweetness depending on the tastes of the cook. People often serve borsok when celebrating holidays.
Meat and bread are also accompanied by a variety of organic vegetables, dairy products, and starches. Much of the produce grown inside the country is done so without the aid of chemicals, making Kyrgyz dishes very healthy. Nomadic people also make homemade cream and butter to be served during a meal. Therefore, Kyrgyz chefs and family cooks usually create their menus using organic food, halal meat, a variety of dairy products, and rice, pasta, or potatoes.
Food is Kyrgyzstan is not only tasty, but extremely affordable. People looking for a low cost vacation on the Silk Road will appreciate the prices of this Central Asian country along with the variety of flavors it offers.

In The OrganicFarmer's Business Handbook, Richard Wiswall shares advice on how to make your vegetable production more efficient, better manage your employees and finances, and turn a profit. From his twenty-seven years of experience at Cate Farm in Vermont, Wiswall knows firsthand the joys of starting and operating an organic farm—as well as the challenges of making a living from one. Farming offers fundamental satisfaction from producing food, working outdoors, being one's own boss, and working intimately with nature. But, unfortunately, many farmers avoid learning about the business end of farming; because of this, they often work harder than they need to, or quit farming altogether because of frustrating—and often avoidable—losses.

There is a growing interest in organic food including organic shrimp. The driving forces behind the promotion of organic shrimp are mainly food safety and farm economics especially such farms rely on natural food in feeding.
Before stocking the shrimp post larvae, the management of shrimp grow-out farm targets the development of sufficient copepods bloom using a specific type of Probiotics as well as tea seed cake and rice bran. The use of tea seed cake targets the elimination of small unwanted fish if exist without the need to apply chemical disinfectants. It is believed that rice bran whether grinded or fermented rice bran would enhance more copepod development. The probiotic is applied based on the pH of the water.
According to published protocols, the water is pumped into shrimp ponds through 300-micron mesh for filtration. The aerators shown in the video operate for 7 to 10 days before the stocking of shrimp post larvae. The high aeration during the start-up is required to enhance the copepod bloom. The density of live food is checked to ensure a sufficient density before the stocking of shrimp post larvae.
This particular farm consists of four ponds of 2.5 mu each (one mu = 1666 m2) with a depth of 80 cm. The farm receives oceanic water from South China Sea. The water pH was 8 at noon.
Usually the PL15 of whiteleg shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei are stocked at density which could range from 30-100 pcs/m2 depending on the intensity level.

Organic Farming, Australia - Learn how to farm organically

Learn the secrets of Australia's Top OrganicFarmers.
Organic farming is currently receiving a lot of attention. Many farmers are keen to give organics a go but are unsure about the process involved and it's viability.

Richard Wiswall discusses the business of organic farming (30 mins)

In The OrganicFarmer's Business Handbook, Richard Wiswall shares advice on how to make your vegetable production more efficient, better manage your employees and finances, and turn a profit.

But, unfortunately, many farmers avoid learning about the business end of farming; because of this, they often work harder than they need to, or quit farming altogether because of frustrating—and often avoidable—losses.

NUS Greater Good Series: Food for Thought

Mr Kailash Murthy
Chairperson:
ProfPrakashKumarFood for Thought -- Can large-scale Asian food enterprises collaborate with the Asian farmer?
Synopsis:
Four billion of the world's seven billion people live in Asia. Our farmers and farmlands are under increasing pressure to produce more food. Adopting modern Western farming techniques -- using genetically modified seeds, chemical fertilizers and pesticides -- may drive higher crop yields, but at the risk of long-term environmental degradation. Major issues such as land, tenure and degradation, cropping patterns and urbanization are threatening the livelihood of Asian farmers, who still rely on traditional methods of farming to serve their communities.

Marketing organic products in Africa (Feb 2013)

In Africa, the demand for organic products has been growing steadily over the years. Many grass-roots initiatives in Africa have started to sell organic products in neighbourhood shops, street markets or in organic shops in a town. Organic food offers multiple benefits and attractive income potential for producers, processors and trading companies all over the world. Certified organic products provide access to attractive local and international markets, where higher prices and incomes are possible. As a result, organic products from Africa are currently exported to many countries, particularly to Europe.

What is organic farming?
Organic farming can be defined as an approach to agriculture where the aim is to create integrated, humane, environmentally and economically sustainable agricultural production systems. Maximum reliance is placed on locally or farm-derived renewable resources and the management of self-regulating ecological and biological processes and interactions in order to provide acceptable levels of crop, livestock and human nutrition, protection from pests and diseases, and an appropriate return to the human and other resources employed. Reliance on external inputs, whether chemical or organic, is reduced as far as po...

Our one hour video hopes to demystify organic farming by bringing together some of Australia's top commercial organic and non-toxic farmers, and ask them how they manage their enterprises without the use of synthetic fertilizers or pesticides.
Mark joined a tour led by Nuffield Farming Scholar Don MacFarlane which took in ten different properties including the Victorian Agricultural ResearchCentre.
The great thing about the one hour video is that it allows the farmers involved to tell their own story on why they went organic, how they went about it and whether it has been a viable move. The video covers such diverse farming enterprises as organic cattle, sheep, poultry, pigs, grain, wine, fruit and vegetables.
Some of the farms included in the video are:
The Druce family farm "Green Grove" which produces it's own flour and confectionary at their Junee flourmill. Alan Druce has been organic since 1962 and the success they are having with their Green Grove Organics operation in Junee is a fine example to country towns everywhere of what can be done to bring life back into the country.
The Statham Family property "Rosnay" near Canowindra which is setting up a grower-marketing group for organic wine, olives, potatoes and pastured poultry. The Statham's wish to form an organic farming community at Rosnay, with 20 acre blocks available for purchase.
Nick and FionaChambers of 'FernleighFarms' near Daylesford, who farm organic vegetables, beef and grazing pigs. They have developed an export market to Japan. Fiona is a senior consultant with Rendell McGuckian Agricultural and Management Consultants and is involved in developing the organic dairy industry.
The Johnson's of WombatWholefoods near Young show farmer's how even with limited acreage, non-toxic farming can be successful. Sam Johnson runs laying and meat chickens in movable pens, free range turkeys, pigs, cattle and fruit trees. Sam has an on property abattoir and direct markets his produce to consumers and restaurants. An amazing system whereby any waste from the abattoir is used to fertilize his fruit trees and any spoilt fruit is fed to his pigs.
The Snowy Mountain Organic Dairy Farm near Cooryong. Stephen Whitstead was recently awarded Victorian Farmer of the year for his initiative in filling a niche market with low fat milk and cream.
Weekly times Farmer of the year nominees Gerry and TerryBrowning of Yarrawonga, who have had great success using organic principles to rotationally graze their 350 cow herd in a single mob.
The video is full of good advice and good ideas. It is refreshing to hear farmers themselves talk passionately and succinctly about their operations.

Here we go again!
We board a flight from Amsterdam and in 9 hours we are in the Caribbean. After a layover of just a couple of hours on Curacao, we fly on to Jamaica. We land in Kingston around 11 am local time. The air is hot, but not too humid.
We have a 3 hours layover, so we decide to get out of the airport and go have lunch in Port Royal, half an hour away on the coast. It's a bit of a ghost-town, once a very rich merchant harbor, destroyed at the end of the seventeenth century by a powerful earthquake. It looks like it never really recoveredâ€¦
We eat lunch in a small fish-restaurant, famous for its snapper. But I eat jerk chicken because I am picky with my fish, and the jerk-spices here are amazing!
Of course we drink some Red Stripe beers, and Simon and myself decide it's time to find some weed. It does not take long before we hit the jackpot: literally on the side of the local Police station, along the seaside, there are some barracks and shacks; inside a group of Rastas is busy cleaning and chopping weed and rolling it up in small balls, using rolling papers as containers.
We ask if we can buy some, and the guys are thrilled. It's cheap, less than 1 Euro per gram. But it's a bit bitter, very leafy, and we enjoy it just because it's been a while since we smoked in Amsterdam! Some of the Rastas in the back are smoking crack cocaine in a glass pipe, the smell is terribly sour. They ask if we like some, and we politely tell them we are just here for the ganja; they nod, and scream "Jah Rastafari"!
We sit and smoke a joint with them, and chat a bit about the local weed, and the cops. It's incredible that this is all happening next to the Police station.
We leave as soon as the joint is over, and we go back to the restaurant to join the rest of the crew.
It's time to get back to the airport and catch a JamaicanAirlines flight to Montego Bay, where our local contacts are waiting. The flight is really short, under half hour, and we arrive in MoBay before sunset. Bigga, Shanti, Nampo and Taleban are waiting for us and it's great to see them again; Arjan and myself spent some crazy days with these guys not long ago, during our scouting trips on the island.
These guys are a tight crew, and they are going to take care of us during the next days of this filming trip.
Nampo is a older Rasta, wise man, with lots of contacts and very respected.
Taleban, his friend, is a grower and a smuggler, a real pirate and one of the funniest guys we ever had with us during our expeditions.
Bigga is our driver/bodyguard, he's a man of the road and he knows who and what you need to know to keep us safe.
Shanti is a local singer, a reggae artist with an amazing talent and a great personality. I know him since he was 10 years old, back in 1994, when I spent a few weeks near where he lived with his father (the man supplying me with fine herb at the time). It was really special to find Shanti during our scouting trips back in July, he's now a grown up manâ€¦ and I am getting old! Shanti will come along and make sure the soundtrack of our travels is inspiring and inspired.
We get the cars, two Toyota Fortuner, and we load up the mountain of gear we are carrying. Then we drive down to Negril in the sunset light, and when we arrive it's already dark. We decide to spend the first night at the Blue CaveCastle, a really cozy place on the rocky cliffs of Negril.
It's another true 1994-flashback for me, this is one of the places where I stayed when I was a 20-years-old ganja-traveler, already a StrainHunter without knowing itâ€¦. Of course to make the flashback even more intense the same room where I slept then is available, so I take it.
It still looks the same.
We are tired from the long travel, and we decide to go for some food. Unfortunately the chef is sick, so we decide to find something not too far away. We hit a jerk-chicken stand by the side of the road and we eat like there's no tomorrow.
After a few Red Stripes and a few joints we go back to the hotel, where we smoke some good amount of high-grade weed, and some "gum", the local finger-hash.
The weed is definitely an indica-cross, it tastes sweet and strong, and they say it's from a site not too far from where we are. We make a plan for tomorrow, and we go to sleep. Jamaica is great. It's a true privilege to be here again.
Jah Bless!
And now we are back with MisterX pics, the man is a true artist..... enjoy!

In The OrganicFarmer's Business Handbook, Richard Wiswall shares advice on how to make your vegetable production more efficient, better manage your employees and finances, and turn a profit. From his twenty-seven years of experience at Cate Farm in Vermont, Wiswall knows firsthand the joys of starting and operating an organic farm—as well as the challenges of making a living from one. Farming offers fundamental satisfaction from producing food, working outdoors, being one's own boss, and working intimately with nature. But, unfortunately, many farmers avoid learning about the business end of farming; because of this, they often work harder than they need to, or quit farming altogether because of frustrating—and often avoidable—losses.

NUS Greater Good Series: Food for Thought

Speaker:
Mr Kailash Murthy
Chairperson:
ProfPrakashKumarFood for Thought -- Can large-scale Asian food enterprises collaborate with the Asian farmer?
Synopsis:
Four billion of the world's seven billion people live in Asia. Our farmers and farmlands are under increasing pressure to produce more food. Adopting modern Western farming techniques -- using genetically modified seeds, chemical fertilizers and pesticides -- may drive higher crop yields, but at the risk of long-term environmental degradation. Major issues such as land, tenure and degradation, cropping patterns and urbanization are threatening the livelihood of Asian farmers, who still rely on traditional methods of farming to serve their communities.

In Africa, the demand for organic products has been growing steadily over the years. Many grass-roots initiatives in Africa have started to sell organic products in neighbourhood shops, street markets or in organic shops in a town. Organic food offers multiple benefits and attractive income potential for producers, processors and trading companies all over the world. Certified organic products provide access to attractive local and international markets, where higher prices and incomes are possible. As a result, organic products from Africa are currently exported to many countries, particularly to Europe.
Starting organic farming is only the first step - selling the products is another challenge. How can producers, processors and traders in Africa be successful in the organic business? This training video explains how to successfully develop marketing strategies and techniques for organic products in Africa. This video illustrates with many examples from Uganda, Ethiopia and South Africa, how to become an entrepreneur and how to learn about market opportunities, market requirements and marketing techniques.

VVH-TV NewsSpecialOrganic Farming: Can It Feed Us? Part 1
Karl GrossmanChief Investigative Reporter examines Organic Farming on Eastern Long Island.
What is organic farming?
Organic farming can be defined as an approach to agriculture where the aim is to create integrated, humane, environmentally and economically sustainable agricultural production systems. Maximum reliance is placed on locally or farm-derived renewable resources and the management of self-regulating ecological and biological processes and interactions in order to provide acceptable levels of crop, livestock and human nutrition, protection from pests and diseases, and an appropriate return to the human and other resources employed. Reliance on external inputs, whether chemical or organic, is reduced as far as possible. In many European countries, organic agriculture is known as ecological agriculture, reflecting this reliance on ecosystem management rather than external inputs.
The objective of sustainability lies at the heart of organic farming and is one of the major factors determining the acceptability or otherwise of specific production practices. The term 'sustainable' is used in its widest sense, to encompass not just conservation of non-renewable resources (soil, energy, minerals) but also issues of environmental, economic and social sustainability. The term 'organic' is best thought of as referring to the concept of the farm as an organism, in which all the component parts - the soil minerals, organic matter, micro-organisms, insects, plants, animals and humans - interact to create a coherent and stable whole.
The key characteristics of organic farming include:
protecting the long term fertility of soils by maintaining organic matter levels, encouraging soil biological activity, and careful mechanical intervention;
providing crop nutrients indirectly using relatively insoluble nutrient sources which are made available to the plant by the action of soil micro-organisms;
nitrogen self-sufficiency through the use of legumes and biological nitrogen fixation, as well as effective recycling of organic materials including crop residues and livestock manures;
weed, disease and pest control relying primarily on crop rotations, natural predators, diversity, organic manuring, resistant varieties and limited (preferably minimal) thermal, biological and chemical intervention;
the extensive management of livestock, paying full regard to their evolutionary adaptations, behavioural needs and animal welfare issues with respect to nutrition, housing, health, breeding and rearing;
careful attention to the impact of the farming system on the wider environment and the conservation of wildlife and natural habitats.

Organic shrimp farming in Asia

Video credit: Jimmy Lim (Aquamimicry China)
Review: Jimmy Lim and Abdel RahmanEl Gamal (Founder of the channel)
The video was filmed in a shrimp farm located in Hainan (China). The video shows the preparation of the ponds before stocking of the post larvae. There is a growing interest in organic food including organic shrimp. The driving forces behind the promotion of organic shrimp are mainly food safety and farm economics especially such farms rely on natural food in feeding.
Before stocking the shrimp post larvae, the management of shrimp grow-out farm targets the development of sufficient copepods bloom using a specific type of Probiotics as well as tea seed cake and rice bran. The use of tea seed cake targets the elimination of small unwanted fish if exist without the need to apply chemical disinfectants. It is believed that rice bran whether grinded or fermented rice bran would enhance more copepod development. The probiotic is applied based on the pH of the water.
According to published protocols, the water is pumped into shrimp ponds through 300-micron mesh for filtration. The aerators shown in the video operate for 7 to 10 days before the stocking of shrimp post larvae. The high aeration during the start-up is required to enhance the copepod bloom. The density of live food is checked to ensure a sufficient density before the stocking of shrimp post larvae.
This particular farm consists of four ponds of 2.5 mu each (one mu = 1666 m2) with a depth of 80 cm. The farm receives oceanic water from South China Sea. The water pH was 8 at noon.
Usually the PL15 of whiteleg shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei are stocked at density which could range from 30-100 pcs/m2 depending on the intensity level.

What Cuba can teach America about organic farming

Many people in America are proponents of the organic food movement, and worried about the potentially harmful effects of pesticides on their health or the environment. In Cuba, farmers have gone organic for a very different reason – they had to. In this final instalment of our series “The Cuban Evoltion” Jeffrey Brown looks at food and farming.

Order nomadic tours online at: http://silkroadexplore.com
Kyrgyzstan is an ancient Central Asian country with ties to the Silk Road and nomadic traditions. The traditional foods of the Kyrgyz Republic were born out of the ancient Kyrgyz way of life. The people of Kyrgyzstan were nomads that primarily raised cows, sheep, and goats, so much of the cuisine reflects this by being heavily meat based. Spices aren't used much so as to not detract from the natural flavor of the meat and the most popular meats used to cook with are mutton and beef.
Since Islam has influenced the country greatly, meat is prepared in a way that meets the standards of the Islamic faith. This includes killing the animal swiftly and draining the meat of blood. When meat is prepared this way, it is deemed "halal."
However, meat isn't the only thing on a Kyrgyz menu. Kyrgyz people are masters when it comes to making homemade breads and pastries. Lipyoshka and borsok are two popular foods in the Kyrgyz Republic. Lipyoska is a circular loaf of bread baked in a large, outdoor clay oven topped with sesame seeds and sometimes onion. No special occasion is needed to indulge in a nice, fresh lipyoshka. Borsok is thinly rolled dough cut into small squares and then fried. They end up puffy and can vary in sweetness depending on the tastes of the cook. People often serve borsok when celebrating holidays.
Meat and bread are also accompanied by a variety of organic vegetables, dairy products, and starches. Much of the produce grown inside the country is done so without the aid of chemicals, making Kyrgyz dishes very healthy. Nomadic people also make homemade cream and butter to be served during a meal. Therefore, Kyrgyz chefs and family cooks usually create their menus using organic food, halal meat, a variety of dairy products, and rice, pasta, or potatoes.
Food is Kyrgyzstan is not only tasty, but extremely affordable. People looking for a low cost vacation on the Silk Road will appreciate the prices of this Central Asian country along with the variety of flavors it offers.

Organic shrimp farming in Asia

Video credit: Jimmy Lim (Aquamimicry China)
Review: Jimmy Lim and Abdel RahmanEl Gamal (Founder of the channel)
The video was filmed in a shrimp farm located in Hainan (China). The video shows the preparation of the ponds before stocking of the post larvae. There is a growing interest in organic food including organic shrimp. The driving forces behind the promotion of organic shrimp are mainly food safety and farm economics especially such farms rely on natural food in feeding.
Before stocking the shrimp post larvae, the management of shrimp grow-out farm targets the development of sufficient copepods bloom using a specific type of Probiotics as well as tea seed cake and rice bran. The use of tea seed cake targets the elimination of small unwanted fish if exist without the need to apply chemical disinfectants. It is believed that rice bran whether grinded or fermented rice bran would enhance more copepod development. The probiotic is applied based on the pH of the water.
According to published protocols, the water is pumped into shrimp ponds through 300-micron mesh for filtration. The aerators shown in the video operate for 7 to 10 days before the stocking of shrimp post larvae. The high aeration during the start-up is required to enhance the copepod bloom. The density of live food is checked to ensure a sufficient density before the stocking of shrimp post larvae.
This particular farm consists of four ponds of 2.5 mu each (one mu = 1666 m2) with a depth of 80 cm. The farm receives oceanic water from South China Sea. The water pH was 8 at noon.
Usually the PL15 of whiteleg shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei are stocked at density which could range from 30-100 pcs/m2 depending on the intensity level.

Organic Farming, Australia - Learn how to farm organically

Learn the secrets of Australia's Top OrganicFarmers.
Organic farming is currently receiving a lot of attention. Many farmers are keen to give organics a go but are unsure about the process involved and it's viability. Our one hour video hopes to demystify organic farming by bringing together some of Australia's top commercial organic and non-toxic farmers, and ask them how they manage their enterprises without the use of synthetic fertilizers or pesticides.
Mark joined a tour led by Nuffield Farming Scholar Don MacFarlane which took in ten different properties including the Victorian Agricultural ResearchCentre.
The great thing about the one hour video is that it allows the farmers involved to tell their own story on why they went organic, how they went about it and whether it has been a viable move. The video covers such diverse farming enterprises as organic cattle, sheep, poultry, pigs, grain, wine, fruit and vegetables.
Some of the farms included in the video are:
The Druce family farm "Green Grove" which produces it's own flour and confectionary at their Junee flourmill. Alan Druce has been organic since 1962 and the success they are having with their Green Grove Organics operation in Junee is a fine example to country towns everywhere of what can be done to bring life back into the country.
The Statham Family property "Rosnay" near Canowindra which is setting up a grower-marketing group for organic wine, olives, potatoes and pastured poultry. The Statham's wish to form an organic farming community at Rosnay, with 20 acre blocks available for purchase.
Nick and FionaChambers of 'FernleighFarms' near Daylesford, who farm organic vegetables, beef and grazing pigs. They have developed an export market to Japan. Fiona is a senior consultant with Rendell McGuckian Agricultural and Management Consultants and is involved in developing the organic dairy industry.
The Johnson's of WombatWholefoods near Young show farmer's how even with limited acreage, non-toxic farming can be successful. Sam Johnson runs laying and meat chickens in movable pens, free range turkeys, pigs, cattle and fruit trees. Sam has an on property abattoir and direct markets his produce to consumers and restaurants. An amazing system whereby any waste from the abattoir is used to fertilize his fruit trees and any spoilt fruit is fed to his pigs.
The Snowy Mountain Organic Dairy Farm near Cooryong. Stephen Whitstead was recently awarded Victorian Farmer of the year for his initiative in filling a niche market with low fat milk and cream.
Weekly times Farmer of the year nominees Gerry and TerryBrowning of Yarrawonga, who have had great success using organic principles to rotationally graze their 350 cow herd in a single mob.
The video is full of good advice and good ideas. It is refreshing to hear farmers themselves talk passionately and succinctly about their operations.

Here we go again!
We board a flight from Amsterdam and in 9 hours we are in the Caribbean. After a layover of just a couple of hours on Curacao, we fly on to Jamaica. We land in Kingston around 11 am local time. The air is hot, but not too humid.
We have a 3 hours layover, so we decide to get out of the airport and go have lunch in Port Royal, half an hour away on the coast. It's a bit of a ghost-town, once a very rich merchant harbor, destroyed at the end of the seventeenth century by a powerful earthquake. It looks like it never really recoveredâ€¦
We eat lunch in a small fish-restaurant, famous for its snapper. But I eat jerk chicken because I am picky with my fish, and the jerk-spices here are amazing!
Of course we drink some Red Stripe beers, and Simon and myself decide it's time to find some weed. It does not take long before we hit the jackpot: literally on the side of the local Police station, along the seaside, there are some barracks and shacks; inside a group of Rastas is busy cleaning and chopping weed and rolling it up in small balls, using rolling papers as containers.
We ask if we can buy some, and the guys are thrilled. It's cheap, less than 1 Euro per gram. But it's a bit bitter, very leafy, and we enjoy it just because it's been a while since we smoked in Amsterdam! Some of the Rastas in the back are smoking crack cocaine in a glass pipe, the smell is terribly sour. They ask if we like some, and we politely tell them we are just here for the ganja; they nod, and scream "Jah Rastafari"!
We sit and smoke a joint with them, and chat a bit about the local weed, and the cops. It's incredible that this is all happening next to the Police station.
We leave as soon as the joint is over, and we go back to the restaurant to join the rest of the crew.
It's time to get back to the airport and catch a JamaicanAirlines flight to Montego Bay, where our local contacts are waiting. The flight is really short, under half hour, and we arrive in MoBay before sunset. Bigga, Shanti, Nampo and Taleban are waiting for us and it's great to see them again; Arjan and myself spent some crazy days with these guys not long ago, during our scouting trips on the island.
These guys are a tight crew, and they are going to take care of us during the next days of this filming trip.
Nampo is a older Rasta, wise man, with lots of contacts and very respected.
Taleban, his friend, is a grower and a smuggler, a real pirate and one of the funniest guys we ever had with us during our expeditions.
Bigga is our driver/bodyguard, he's a man of the road and he knows who and what you need to know to keep us safe.
Shanti is a local singer, a reggae artist with an amazing talent and a great personality. I know him since he was 10 years old, back in 1994, when I spent a few weeks near where he lived with his father (the man supplying me with fine herb at the time). It was really special to find Shanti during our scouting trips back in July, he's now a grown up manâ€¦ and I am getting old! Shanti will come along and make sure the soundtrack of our travels is inspiring and inspired.
We get the cars, two Toyota Fortuner, and we load up the mountain of gear we are carrying. Then we drive down to Negril in the sunset light, and when we arrive it's already dark. We decide to spend the first night at the Blue CaveCastle, a really cozy place on the rocky cliffs of Negril.
It's another true 1994-flashback for me, this is one of the places where I stayed when I was a 20-years-old ganja-traveler, already a StrainHunter without knowing itâ€¦. Of course to make the flashback even more intense the same room where I slept then is available, so I take it.
It still looks the same.
We are tired from the long travel, and we decide to go for some food. Unfortunately the chef is sick, so we decide to find something not too far away. We hit a jerk-chicken stand by the side of the road and we eat like there's no tomorrow.
After a few Red Stripes and a few joints we go back to the hotel, where we smoke some good amount of high-grade weed, and some "gum", the local finger-hash.
The weed is definitely an indica-cross, it tastes sweet and strong, and they say it's from a site not too far from where we are. We make a plan for tomorrow, and we go to sleep. Jamaica is great. It's a true privilege to be here again.
Jah Bless!
And now we are back with MisterX pics, the man is a true artist..... enjoy!

Richard Wiswall discusses the business of organic farming (30 mins)

In The OrganicFarmer's Business Handbook, Richard Wiswall shares advice on how to make your vegetable production more efficient, better manage your employees and finances, and turn a profit. From his twenty-seven years of experience at Cate Farm in Vermont, Wiswall knows firsthand the joys of starting and operating an organic farm—as well as the challenges of making a living from one. Farming offers fundamental satisfaction from producing food, working outdoors, being one's own boss, and working intimately with nature. But, unfortunately, many farmers avoid learning about the business end of farming; because of this, they often work harder than they need to, or quit farming altogether because of frustrating—and often avoidable—losses.

NUS Greater Good Series: Food for Thought

Speaker:
Mr Kailash Murthy
Chairperson:
ProfPrakashKumarFood for Thought -- Can large-scale Asian food enterprises collaborate with the Asian farmer?
Synopsis:
Four billion of the world's seven billion people live in Asia. Our farmers and farmlands are under increasing pressure to produce more food. Adopting modern Western farming techniques -- using genetically modified seeds, chemical fertilizers and pesticides -- may drive higher crop yields, but at the risk of long-term environmental degradation. Major issues such as land, tenure and degradation, cropping patterns and urbanization are threatening the livelihood of Asian farmers, who still rely on traditional methods of farming to serve their communities.

Marketing organic products in Africa (Feb 2013)

In Africa, the demand for organic products has been growing steadily over the years. Many grass-roots initiatives in Africa have started to sell organic products in neighbourhood shops, street markets or in organic shops in a town. Organic food offers multiple benefits and attractive income potential for producers, processors and trading companies all over the world. Certified organic products provide access to attractive local and international markets, where higher prices and incomes are possible. As a result, organic products from Africa are currently exported to many countries, particularly to Europe.
Starting organic farming is only the first step - selling the products is another challenge. How can producers, processors and traders in Africa be successful in the organic business? This training video explains how to successfully develop marketing strategies and techniques for organic products in Africa. This video illustrates with many examples from Uganda, Ethiopia and South Africa, how to become an entrepreneur and how to learn about market opportunities, market requirements and marketing techniques. Just go step-by-step!

Organic Farming: Can It Feed Us (Part 1)

VVH-TV NewsSpecialOrganic Farming: Can It Feed Us? Part 1
Karl GrossmanChief Investigative Reporter examines Organic Farming on Eastern Long Island.
What is organic farming?
Organic farming can be defined as an approach to agriculture where the aim is to create integrated, humane, environmentally and economically sustainable agricultural production systems. Maximum reliance is placed on locally or farm-derived renewable resources and the management of self-regulating ecological and biological processes and interactions in order to provide acceptable levels of crop, livestock and human nutrition, protection from pests and diseases, and an appropriate return to the human and other resources employed. Reliance on external inputs, whether chemical or organic, is reduced as far as possible. In many European countries, organic agriculture is known as ecological agriculture, reflecting this reliance on ecosystem management rather than external inputs.
The objective of sustainability lies at the heart of organic farming and is one of the major factors determining the acceptability or otherwise of specific production practices. The term 'sustainable' is used in its widest sense, to encompass not just conservation of non-renewable resources (soil, energy, minerals) but also issues of environmental, economic and social sustainability. The term 'organic' is best thought of as referring to the concept of the farm as an organism, in which all the component parts - the soil minerals, organic matter, micro-organisms, insects, plants, animals and humans - interact to create a coherent and stable whole.
The key characteristics of organic farming include:
protecting the long term fertility of soils by maintaining organic matter levels, encouraging soil biological activity, and careful mechanical intervention;
providing crop nutrients indirectly using relatively insoluble nutrient sources which are made available to the plant by the action of soil micro-organisms;
nitrogen self-sufficiency through the use of legumes and biological nitrogen fixation, as well as effective recycling of organic materials including crop residues and livestock manures;
weed, disease and pest control relying primarily on crop rotations, natural predators, diversity, organic manuring, resistant varieties and limited (preferably minimal) thermal, biological and chemical intervention;
the extensive management of livestock, paying full regard to their evolutionary adaptations, behavioural needs and animal welfare issues with respect to nutrition, housing, health, breeding and rearing;
careful attention to the impact of the farming system on the wider environment and the conservation of wildlife and natural habitats.
